Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp hopeful of top four place

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp remains confident his team will finish in the top four this season despite an indifferent recent run of results.

Spurs are now only a point ahead of fourth-placed Arsenal after successive defeats against Arsene Wenger's team, Manchester United and Everton.

"It will be a fantastic achievement if we finish in the top four this year and I think we will do it," Redknapp said.

"We haven't been getting results but I have no problems with the performance."

When Spurs travelled to Manchester City on 22 January they were in contention for the title, and victory at the Etihad, instead of the injury time 3-2 defeat that transpired, would have left them only two points behind the two Manchester sides who have subsequently pulled away from the rest of the Premier League.
